Chapter 13

Evan couldn’t stand the way she was looking at him.

Before he could say anything, his phone chimed with a message.

He glanced down.

Whatever he saw made his expression change instantly.

Before he could react, Dora’s call came through again.

“Evan, if you don’t come right now, something serious is going to happen!”

Her voice was hysterical. In the background, Summer’s screaming cut through the line.

“Let go of me! I want to find Steven! I want Steven! Steven will protect me!”

“Do you hear her?” Dora cried. “Summer’s having another episode.”

Evan frowned deeply. He glanced at Stella, then said into the phone, “I’m coming.”

He hung up and turned toward her.

The distance in Stella’s eyes made his chest tighten.

He forced himself forward and grabbed her shoulders. “Darling.”

Stella brushed his hands away without a word and turned her back to him.

In that moment, it was painfully clear. Whether he went to Summer or not had nothing to do with her anymo

“I’ll be right back,” Evan said.

He didn’t wait for a response.

He turned and left.

As his footsteps faded down the hallway, Stella felt something inside her drift farther and farther away from

him.

The moment Evan left, her phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID, took a few steady breaths, and answered. “Brother.”

“Gary will arrive in Harbor City first thing tomorrow,” the man said calmly. “He’ll t you need done, let him handle it.”

Gary.

Her brother’s personal assistant.

She had met him once before, the last time her brother came to Harbor City. A dangerous man. Sleeves of

tattoos. The same cold, lethal presence her brother carried.

She murmured, “Okay.”

“He’s bringing two international litigation attorneys,” the man continued. “I assume there are quite a few things in Harbor City you’d like cleaned up.”

His voice was arrogant, dangerous, dismissive of everything and everyone.

Even through the phone, that quiet dominance pressed down hard.

Stella answered again, softly, “Yes.”

There were plenty of things in Harbor City she wanted erased.

Gary.

A man who carried the same killing aura as her brother.

It seemed Harbor City was finally due for some chaos.

The voice on the other end lowered, deliberately gentler, though the awkwardness gave him away. “Move quickly. Come back to Eirden soon.”

She smiled faintly. “I will.”

After a few more instructions, the call ended.

Just then, Jennifer returned.

She was carrying Stella’s pajamas and her usual water bottle.

The moment she noticed the scratch marks on Stella’s neck, she gasped. “Did Summer scratch you?”

Stella fell silent.

Jennifer quickly set everything down and stepped closer, inspecting the marks. “She broke the skin, but it’s not deep.”

Still, her tone was furious.

That woman could act like the perfect, gentle sister-in-law in front of the Wright family, but belt d closed doors, she never stopped bullying Stella.

“She got the worse end of it,” Stella said flatly.

“You fought again?” Jennifer stared at her. “When I left, you didn’t have these.”

Stella nodded. “Dora came. She demanded I go apologize.”

Jennifer exploded. “She’s hogging your husband, and your mother-in-law wants you to apologize?”

Stella’s lips curved faintly. “Very confidently, too.”

Jennifer was livid. “I’ve seen shameless people before, but this is a new low.”

Summer had already been twisted enough, coveting Evan while his brother was still alive. At least back then, she

hid it.

Now she wasn’t even pretending.

“So you went and hit her again?” Jennifer asked carefully.

Stella nodded. “Of course. They wanted me to bow my head. I just showed them what that looks like.”

Jennifer went quiet.

… It was effective. Terrifying, but effective.

Still, she frowned. “I told you before. Summer’s mother is extremely protective. I’m really worried about you.

“If you’re determined to take them down, let me help you do it quietly. Behind the scenes.”

Jennifer finally compromised.

“I’m scared that if you push them too hard, you won’t just lose the Redcrest Valley project. Your jewelry studios, your galleries, everything you’ve built could be targeted.”

She looked at Stella seriously.

“I don’t want you to be crushed before you even get your revenge.’
